A New World, A New Kickstart

Day 1

East side of Vanhoover, Tundra, Noon

It was a bright and sunny day, the grass was green, the sky was blue and the animals doing what animals do. It was the perfect day and nothing can go wrong, except for the sounds of constant banging and screams of agony.

A pale yellow unicorn with indigo mane up on a tree, was watching the whole thing with terror at the brutal sight he is seeing.

A Blaziken, cornered on a boulder, getting mercilessly Zen Headbutted one at a time by a herd of Tauros, and they aren’t holding back.

It’s been a few minutes since it started, the Blaziken, who is bruised all over his body, especially in the torso, can hardly stand up.

“Enough.” The lead Tauros ordered his herd to stop attacking. “Any last words, smartass.”

The Blaziken chuckled, while slowly standing up. “Yeah.” He tried his best to keep himself standing up, his vision blurry, and his body in constant pain. “Do you go lube or raw when humping your fellow Tauros?” The Blaziken asked, mockingly.

The lead Tauros got really angry, that a vein popped up on his forehead.

“Alright, you asked for it.” The lead Tauros took a few steps back. Then, energy began to swirl around the lead Tauros. “Giga Impact.” Then, he charged at the Blaziken.

Pause

“Hi, my name is Damien and that Blaziken that’s about to be destroyed by a rampaging Tauros, that’s me. For the record, that’s not how I usually look, in fact I’m not a Pokémon. I’m a human who got turned into a Pokémon by some unknown force. Also, I’ve been transported to another world called Equestria. That’s Indigo Spark, the Ponyta look-alike up on that tree. He’s nice. Now you’re probably wondering, how did we get into this mess?”

Rewind

Day 0

Kanto region, Viridian Forest, 3:00 PM

Damien is walking deep into the forest. The sky is filled with white and puffy clouds and a cool breeze. The forest is full of bug Pokémon like Caterpie, Butterfree, Venomoth, Weedle, Beedrill, etc. It was a beautiful sight yet fearsome if provoked, that’s what nature is about. Exhausted from his training, Pokémon battles and running from the law, Damien collapsed.

“So. Tired. Can’t. Walk. Need. Food. Water. Rest.” Damien said exhaustedly.Then, he took out a pokeball from his backpack.

“Sheldon, come on out!” Damien said.

A Blastoise appeared out of the pokeball.

“Blaaaast” Shelldon shouted.

“Sheldon, could you please carry me to that tree over there. I’m very tired.” Damien pleaded, unable to stand up.

Sheldon nodded and carried Damien to a nearby tree.

“Okay, put me down right over there.” Damien said. Sheldon put Damien down.

“Blaaas, blas blaaaaast.” Sheldon said.

Although Damien can’t understand what Sheldon, or any Pokémon, is saying. He knew in his heart what Sheldon, and the rest of his Pokémon, are trying to say, because they’re best friends, especially Sheldon, since he knew Damien since childhood.

“Don’t worry, I’m okay.” Damien said reassuringly.

“Blaas, blastoise”. Sheldon said, worried about Damien’s health.

“You worry too much. I’m fine. Now, I’m going to bring out everyone so we can eat, you in.” Damien said.

“Blaaast.” Sheldon agreed.

Damien took out five pokeballs from his backpack.

“Everyone, come on out.” Damien said.

A Hawlucha, Roserade, Snubbull, a shiny Zangoose, and Teddiursa appeared from the pokeballs.

The five Pokémon shouted in unison.

“Alright guys, its snack time.” Damien announced.

After a long day of training and battling, everyone became happy at that announcement. Then, Damien took out food from his backpack.

“Okay guys, I don’t got that much food, so we all need to share. That includes you, Angie.” Damien pointed out at the Snubbull.

“Snub.” Angie responded, while crossing her arms and turning her head.

Damien started handing out a few berries and some poketreats to everyone.Then, he took out his sandwich and a bottle of water and began eating with the others.

20 minutes later.

After everyone had finished their meals, they all dispersed to do their own thing. Damien and Shelldon sit back, relax and talk by a tree. Angie and Teddy, the Snubbull and Teddiursa, are hanging out. Flora, the Roserade, is picking up flowers. Ventus, the Hawlucha, is flying in the sky. Taiga, the shiny Zangoose, is meditating by a rosebush.

“Hey, Sheldon. Have you wondered how that couple is doing ever since we helped them escape from the cops and the Pokémon rangers?” Damien asked, full of concern.

“Blast blastoise blast.” Sheldon responded.

“Yeah. It’s been a month and I can’t stop thinking about them. I hope they’re okay.” Damien said while thinking about them.

“Blast blast-”. Sheldon was cut off when a crying Teddiursa was running towards them.

“What’s wrong, Teddy.” Damien asked. Then, he saw that Teddy had a bump with a small cut on his head. “What happened to your head?”

“Teddi teddiursa teddi.” Teddy said while crying and pointing at Angie.

“Not again. That’s the fourth time this week.” Damien said while putting his hand on his forehead.

Then, Damien walked over to Angie.

“Angie, why do you keep headbutting Teddy?” Damien questioned.

“Snuuub snubbull.” Angie replied deceivingly.

“Why are you lying? You’re the only Pokémon that can use Headbutt.” Damien pointed out, frustrated with Angie’s excuses and lies. “Look, I don’t know what your problem with Teddy is, but this has got to stop. Apologize to Teddy, NOW!” Damien said, furiously.

“Snubbull snub.” Angie apologized to Teddy.

“Teddi.” Teddy sniffled.

“This better be the last time you do this. Understand.” Damien warned Angie.

“Snub.” Angie replied.

“Good. Now, carry on.” Damien walked to his backpack and took out an antibiotic spray and a band-aid.

“Alright, Teddy. Let’s get you patched up.” Damien sat down next to Teddy.

Damien began to treat Teddy. “I’m going to spray you with this, it’s going to hurt.” Damien showed Teddy the spray and began to spray on the wound.

“Teddi ted.” Teddy began to cry a little.

Damien put on the band-aid on Teddy’s wound.

“All done.” Damien finished treating Teddy.

“You feel better now?” Damien asked.

“Teddi.” Teddy hugged Damien, feeling all better.

“Okay, okay. Now, go do something.” Damien said.

“Teddiursa.” Teddy said, while putting his paw on his forehead like a soldier. Then he went to Flora, helping her picking up flowers.

Damien went to his backpack to his stuff away, but stopped halfway when he heard a sound of something falling from the sky. He looked up and saw Ventus falling from the sky and it was coming at him, fast. In an instant, Taiga felt his master in danger, ran really fast towards him and shoved Damien to safety, right before Ventus crashed into the ground, hard.

Everyone heard the crash and went towards to Damien.

“Zangoose zan.” Taiga asked, making sure Damien is okay.

I’m fine, but more importantly, is Ventus okay? Damien asked, worriedly.

Everyone went towards to Ventus. The Hawlucha is okay, but he is bruised all over his body.

Ventus, are you okay?” Damien asked.

“Hawlucha.” Ventus responded, feeling okay.

“What happened?” Damien asked, wanting to know what happened.

The Hawlucha pointed upwards to the sky.

Damien and the rest saw where Ventus was pointing at. Immediately, everyone’s face went too worried to dread, as a huge flock of Spearow is coming their way, fast, and from the looks of their faces, they are mad, really mad. Here’s a Pokémon trivia for you; the Spearow are territorial Pokémon who attack anyone who come across their territory, which Damien didn’t know. If you are in their territory, you are screwed, unless you have some strong Pokémon with you, which Damien has.

Damien saw this and went to commando mode, angry at the flock. “Flora, take Ventus to a safe place. Angie and Teddy, stay with Flora and do not leave her side. Sheldon and Taiga, let’s do this.”

The Snubbull was about to say something but was cut off by Damien. “NO WAY. You’re not ready for this kind of battle.” As if he knew what Angie was about to say.

“Snub.” Angie responded, disapprovingly, but had no choice but to listen.

Everyone did what Damien ordered them to do. Then, Damien picked up a stick and stood on top of a rock, pointing at the flock of Spearow.

“How dare they do that? For I'am mad as hell. They messed with one of our dear friends and we’re not going to tolerate that, are we? NO! Now let’s take them down with the good old fashion divide and conquer strategy.” Damien pointed at the Blastoise. “Sheldon, use Water Pulse, disperse or hit them, whichever you like.” Then, he pointed to the shiny Zangoose. “Taiga, once they are dispersed or hit, finish them with Ice Beam. Now, ATTACK!” Damien shouted.

Sheldon attacked first, dispersing the flock of Spearow with his Water Pulse, sometimes even hit them. Then, Taiga finished them with his Ice Beam, freezing them in place and falling to the ground. The plan is working like a charm. How you ask? After years of reading comic books, watching a lot movies, playing video games, battling lots of trainers and real world experience, Damien had developed a knack of analyzing, strategizing and anticipation.

Sheldon uses Water Pulse, a move that can confuse their target, if hit many times, to either confuse or disperse their target. Even if the Spearow dodges it or not, Taiga finishes them off with his Ice Beam, which Ice beats Flying. It’s a solid plan. However, there’s only one problem, which Damien noticed: the numbers. There are two Pokémon vs a huge flock of Spearow. There are like a hundred of them, possibly more. It’s only a matter of time before Sheldon and Taiga use up all of their energy. Once they do, the flock will have a chance to attack.

“Oh man, there’s too many of them. I don’t think we can keep this up.” Damien thought. He saw that Taiga is getting tired. Then, he noticed a Spearow trying to attack Taiga from behind. “Taiga, behind you.” Damien shouted. Taiga turned around and used his Ice Beam at the Spearow, freezing him. “Whoa, that was close one. We need to finish this battle as soon as possible.” Damien thought hard, trying to figure out a way to get out of this mess, but can’t think of any. “What are we going to do? There’s no end of them. Calm down. Think. There has to be a way.”

Then, something has started to happen. Damien could feel it. It’s as if he’s fading into nothingness. Then, he heard a voice in his mind. It was majestic and god-like. “Rest now my children, for when you awake in a whole new world shall be your home.” Then, everything went dark.
